This is not mine, but my daughter’s story. She is a single mother of twins that is in a just above minimum wage job that has a brighter future than her years of restaurant work. She gets a small amount of state aid and a smaller still amount of child support that is now almost […]
I called BCBS of MN on 10/9/13 to ask why the premium for my grandfathered in plan (which is not subject to many of the regulations of Obamacare) went up. I was told by Keng that Obamacare does not allow them to assess risk and determine premiums based on their entire pool of insureds. They […]
BCBS said they would no longer provide health care for my children under my current policy and raised my rates for my wife and I.
Was not affordable before, certainly not now.
I no longer believe we live I a free country.
I am employed by a small company with about 50 employees. We were told by our HR department that our premiums were going to increase immediately specifically because of the new coverage of the pill, contraception, the morning after pill, and such. I consider myself an orthodox Catholic and I am sickened that I am […]
My daughter is a college grad with a degree in Elementary Ed. She currently does substitute, fill-in, teaching gigs, as fulltime positions are rare. She also works part-time at a MAJOR coffee shop chain , here in Mn. She was recently told that by Jan 1, she MUST present proof of an insurance policy or […]
Obama DON’T care. The only people that benefit from this are welfare and jobless people. The people who have jobs and are working their asses off are the ones paying for the rest of the ————.
The reason for the increase is because of new requirements. Wonder what this could be? Haven’t heard this reason for increases before Obama care was rammed down our throats.
Everything is more expensive – Copays, deductibles and premiums.
My wife and I are both self-employed and we currently purchase individual family insurance on the private market. Our current health plan is a high-deductible plan. This means that we accept more risk in trade for lower premiums. We just received our 2014 plan information from our current insurer. As expected, our old plan is […]
I’m self-employed and buy my own health insurance. My insurance company just informed me that my monthly premium is now increasing $55 a month and they’ve doubled my out-of-pocket deductible from $3,100 to $6,250 and I have a 30% co-pay to top it off! “Affordable Care Act,” my A$$! Affordable for who? I am so […]
With rising premiums and lowered benefits, I have substantially hurt my family financial situation. Obamacare has motivated my company to avoid the cadillac tax. We now have less disposable income to pay higher deductibles. I’m outraged.
I work for a school our family insurance policy offered through work is $1800 per month. We have two children and were forced to buy a family policy on our own. For the past year we had been paying around $425 per month for the family policy with a high deductable. Now we received a […]
My employer, University of Minnesota, will be charged $48 excise tax million because the government considers our healthcare plan a Cadillac plan. I’m including the email below from our vice president: Dear UPlan Members, Federal health care reform, known as the Affordable Care Act (ACA), will fundamentally impact the way employers provide coverage to their […]
I am a self-employed male over 55 years of age. My health insurance consists of an HSA with a high deductible and out-of-pocket maximum to match; with 100% coverage after deductible/out-of-pocket is satisfied. I choose this type of healthcare because I believe insurance should be utilized to cover catastrophic events, while I remain personally responsible […]
My husband and I are a young married couple with hopes to start raising a family in the coming year. Our deductible in 2014 will go from $5,000 INCLUDING the 30% co-pay to $15,000 WITHOUT INCLUDING the 30% co-pay! How does Obama expect to generate more tax-payers in this country if they’re making it completely […]
I got a letter from HealthPartners saying my plan was no longer available, and that the new equivalent plan costs 1,148.12 monthly. My old plan cost $793.29 monthly. That’s an increase of $4257.96 per year.
I used to be free to pick and choose. Now without a vote or a politician listening to me my whole world has been destroyed. I was one of the luckiest people in the world, I was born in the united states of America, because if I had been born elsewhere I would have been […]
I am a life long republican. I am married with two young children. I work full time, my husband works full time, in addition to our jobs we also have a small farm. My husband receives health insurance through is employer. I work for a small business and do not receive health insurance as a […]
